Sima Zhan ignored Chu Xiao at this moment, and sat on the main seat to check on his beloved concubine like a lion protecting his cub.
Chu Xiao's heart was filled with mixed emotions. How could his wife suddenly become the emperor's favorite concubine? He was completely baffled.
"Your Majesty, the men in black have confessed that their main intention this time was to take the life of the Concubine Chen, and the mastermind behind this was..."
"Who is it? Tell me quickly!" Sima Zhan's voice was powerful without anger, like thunder.
"It was the eldest princess's order."
"What? How dare you slander me? I have never met these men in black before, so how could I have ordered them to do so?" The eldest princess was eloquent and tried to make excuses.

After the emperor left, the queen slowly came out.
"Queen, I have not betrayed you. You must find a way to rescue me, otherwise I will present the evidence to His Majesty!" The eldest princess threatened at the top of her lungs.
"Princess, don't worry. I will ask my mother to rescue you when I return." The queen replied with a forced smile.
At this moment, she was thinking about how to make the eldest princess shut up forever.
